4. Light weight and effortless handling for surgeons. Less likely to cause fatigue due to long medical procedures. It is more suitable for human blood and muscle tissue and it offers higher therapeutic efficacy.
5. Compared to metals and other raw materials, it is more economical for the production of disposable consumables. Besides, it also helps reduce the risk of contamination when used as packaging materials after sterilization.
6. Easy molding. Plastic material is easily fabricated to form a variety of shapes. Complex medical equipment and supplies can be produced at lower cost process. No corrosion and color change when applied with disinfectant or treated with high-temperature sterilization.
